Question
Hello Rabbi, I asked a mortgage consultant to obtain a mortgage for me. He has not succeeded yet, and I received refusals from several banks. I want to switch to another mortgage consultant. Am I obligated to pay the first consultant for his efforts? Do I need to inform the first consultant that another consultant is also trying to help with this matter?
Answer
Hello,
It depends on what you agreed upon: payment for obtaining the mortgage or payment for the work.
If you did not agree on anything, it depends on the circumstances.
